Children of Pride was one of, but far from the only, source used in our book.

According to the database underlying the book, Quarterman Family of
Liberty County, Georgia, and Relatives, yes, there is a direct relation:
Effie Young QUARTERMAN, child of
John Way QUARTERMAN, child of
Adaline WAY, child of
John WAY Jr., child of
John WAY Sr., child of
Edward WAY, child of
William WAY, child of
William WAY, child of
Aaron WAY Sr..
I believe you'll find the sources for each step in the book.
I don't know of a General John Screven. We do have a Gen. James Screven.
He appears to be related indirectly by marriage:
James SCREVEN, father of
Mary Esther SCREVEN, mother of
Odinsel Witherspoon HART, spouse of
Mary Caroline STEVENS, child of
Elizabeth Sumner WINN, child of
Nancy (Ann?) SUMNER, child of
Edward Way SUMNER, child of
Elizabeth WAY, child of
Aaron WAY, child of
Aaron WAY Sr..
The sources for those steps are also in the book.
We're always interested in further sources, criticisms, etc.
